Wednesday Words from May the fourth be with you

The best job ever for Brenda was volunteer work: one who wandered around the library and collected books left on tables..  Who would read this?  What a huge book!  Gotta write this one down!... Smells of old and new books were both invigorating and soothing.

non-fiction

Pushing the shelving cart, Brenda grabbed books, reading titles aloud.

"Orchid Thief" Non-Fiction?

A serious book about a serious time

"Glasnost, Perestoika and the Socialist Community"The spine is barely creased open.  Must be a very serious history.

"Vacation in Margaretville, New York"  A real page tuner.

A worthwhile read

"Walter the Farting Dog" Read this to my younger brother.  Never again.

"Wind Talkers" Saw the movie, Nicholas...what's his name..Cage? With Adam Sands?

About noble Navajo changing the course of War

An excellent book

"Like Water for Chocolate" Mom was reading this one, once and then twice.

Nancy Farmer Website

"Scorpion" by Nancy Farmer" Loved this book! 

More time remained on her shift. Seeking out "The Islands of the Blessed" by Nancy Farmer, Brenda settled with a sigh, beginning with the first page.
